    Bet you're pleased with your result, Chrisj1961!!
    At least I know now, which is better than before the 1911 census

    He was born between 1853 and 1855, depending on what you are looking at (wedding certificate and most censuses say 1855, death certificate says 1853)

    On the censuses it was put that he was born

    1861 - Malta
    1871 - not on census at all anywhere
    1881 - Malta - Corpe (think this is probably Corfu as no such place as Corpe in Malta)
    1891 - Malta
    1901 - Mil Brit Subject

    Nowhere does it say he was born at sea until 1911 census, not on Malta birth registers, not on Ionian peninsula registers, not on born at sea register.

    I don't know if you have already found it, but there is an extremely good Malta Family History website. Ok most of the indexes relate to the armed forces, but you might get lucky!!!

    Thanks martin, I have tried that, even emailled the owner of the website to see where he got some information from regarding my gg grandad's father (on at least one other thread here so will not go into that one ) but his details aren't on there, and I agree, that site is really really informative.
